New Defender TV advert

[Paddington]

Saw this last night for the first time, shows one been driven around Australia, creek crossing, pulling a road train, everything a new owner will be doing. Above and beyond is the slogan, looks impressive but the silly wet socks box on the rear window just lets it down.

What an odd advert...had a really cheap Kia sorento feel to it. Didn't play into the Land Rover heritage aspect at all. Surely a vehicle like this is supposed to be aspirational.

They did well to find that elephant in Australia

What a shame Land Rover have become an embarrassing parody of their formerly proud heritage. Dire financial straits, begging for a government bailout (declined), well deserved reputation for poor reliability and their solution is absurd adverts like this

Hopeless thread, I'm gonna put something more eye-candyish on it.

Screenshoted this from a YouTube video simply because I thought it looked absolutely hideous at that angle.

Like the government Said ,Tata has deep pockets . The bailout they Should do is to start with management . Management will drive the company out of business ,but still get their big bonus for failure. Along with their dealerships snobby and arrogant .
